Congratulations! You baked a really good baby. She's perfect, just perfect. I love the photos of you and Mia resting after some good on the bed nursing. I wish you so much wonderful time together! I hope you are all feeling well and that lots of friends are bringing you lots of food!

we are the ones that are privileged…thank you so for sharing these first photos of mia (will you let us know how you came to her name?…hope this is not to presumptuous of me). mia louise is beautiful & very fortunate to have such wonderful parents.mazel tov…you & eli have something wonderful to celebrate this new year!

Linda - Oops, we were posting at the same time. Yes, I'm happy to share a little about the name, but better to do it once I have a bit of sleep under my belt. For now, I'll just say that Mia is after my grandmother, Marion, and Louise is after my grandmother Louise. Amazing women, both.

Congratulations to you! Mia is such a lovely name for such a beautiful baby girl. Thank you so much for sharing these precious images! I look forward to more popping up on your blog from time to time. I'm sure she'll be a wiz in the kitchen as well.

Blogger seems to have eaten my comment! I am SO delighted for you, and she is truly gorgeous. I hope you are soaking up the beauty of these early days (and as much sleep as you can manage). So happy to meet your sweet, beautiful daughter! xox

A new set of eyes to see the world. Always a wonderful occasion. In my line of work (a registered dietitian at WIC), I am fortunate enough to see many new little people daily. Brightens my days. Yours in particular is immensely sweet.

Dear Jess, warm congratulations from Brussels. And welcome Mia, fellow virgo! As a newish mum who's seven months into the stint all I can say is this: welcome to the most wonderful part of your life. And it only gets better. Enjoy every magical, heartachingly-beautiful minute of it. And rest assured: you'll find your way back to the stove...and we are all looking forward to hearing about it...Hugs from Brussels!
